SWS Kodiak 100 rudder

Love this aircraft, but crosswind and rudder at landing is hard!!
Pretty much the same at takeoff, as soon the wheel are off the ground, this plane just swings around like crazy!!! Rudder is too sensitive for my taste even after trying different setting on the rudder pedals!!!
Is it me or anybody else as this difficulty?

Not just you. Managed one good takeoff. Cheered let go of the yoke and crashed :crazy_face:

Use 30-50% right rudder trim for take-off.

You can also try some rudder trim for landings.

Also make sure you are trimming down, and not up on takeoff. And don’t yank it off the deck, just very gentle back pressure, then a little forward pressure until you build speed.

Turn on rudder assistance and trim assistance. Works like the airbus then. Trims where you keep it. In the future it will have these features anyway. Flies like a dream
